To be fair I've been six foot two and a bit for around 20 years now and I still crack the top of my head into things more than once.
 
I hit the light shade in my father-in-law's living room every time I went in there until he redecorated.

I also haven't got or found any information about what it entails. Does anybody know what I'm supposed to test and/or report?

Yes, but we don't talk about it. Open up the sticky at the top of the beta forum; details of what has changed, are provided in there, and there's a link to the new bit.

No, the brainwashing element of the Master Plan is much simpler. We just make all the TV programs worth watching in Wales, and then use them to broadcast our propaganda subtly. Big Grin | :-D

GeneralI did something...memberNagy Vilmos27 Jan '13 - 23:41 
Yesterday I did something that I don't do very often. To be honest, since I got married I have rarely done it; maybe only 10 times a year. I know one guy who did it everyday before work when he first got married and others who often do it at the weekend or if they're going out. For me it just feels wrong, I don't feel happy about it and I'll feel very self conscious if someone sees me.
 
Can you guess what I did?
